Thackwell's scarce eye-witness account of the Second Sikh War. He led the left brigade of cavalry at Chilianwala (13 January 1849) and Gujrat (21 February), making his narrative a true gripping firsthand tale rather than an authors attempt to parse something together for the British market.
First edition; 8vo (20 x 13 cm); armorial bookplate to pastedown, contemporary ownership inscription to title; contemporary half calf, marbled boards, spine in six compartments with gilt red morocco lettering piece, all edges speckled red, spine a little rubbed, a very good copy; vii, 398, [i] pp.
